Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of steel wire rope surface treatment technology, and in particular to a steel wire rope surface treatment device. Background Technology
[0002] Wire rope is a type of rope made of multiple steel wires through a precise braiding or stranding process. It is commonly used for load-bearing, traction, and lifting. It uses high-strength steel as the main raw material and undergoes cold working and heat treatment processes to ensure its excellent mechanical properties and durability. The structure of a wire rope consists of multiple steel wires that are stranded together in different ways to form the rope body. Common structures include six-strand, seven-strand, and eight-strand ropes. Its surface is usually galvanized or treated with other anti-corrosion agents to improve its corrosion resistance. Due to its high tensile strength, excellent flexibility, and fatigue resistance, wire rope is widely used in lifting, transportation, construction, mining, and navigation industries.
[0003] Existing technologies for steel wire ropes still present some problems in subsequent processing. For example, during long-term use, oil, rust, wear, and residual coatings easily accumulate on the surface of the steel wire rope, which not only reduces its mechanical properties but also accelerates corrosion, affecting safety and service life. Traditional steel wire rope surface treatments often employ manual cleaning, chemical soaking, or mechanical grinding, which suffer from low efficiency, incomplete cleaning, and slow drying. In particular, it is difficult to effectively remove stubborn dirt from the gaps between the strands. Although some existing automated cleaning devices can achieve continuous processing, they often lack integrated scraping and drying functions, resulting in residual liquid or impurities after cleaning affecting the adhesion of subsequent plating and coating.
[0004] To address these issues, we provide a wire rope surface treatment device. Utility Model Content
[0005] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is that the existing technology has the disadvantage of not being able to effectively remove stubborn dirt in the gaps of steel wire rope strands after long-term use. To this end, we propose a steel wire rope surface treatment device.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this application adopts the following technical solution: a wire rope surface treatment device, comprising a base plate, a pre-washing frame fixedly connected to the top of the base plate, and a decontamination box fixedly connected to the top of one side of the pre-washing frame; the decontamination box has a decontamination assembly in its inner cavity, the decontamination assembly comprising an electrically driven rotating extrusion roller movably connected to both sides of the inner cavity of the decontamination box, a spiral scraper fixedly connected to one end of the electrically driven rotating extrusion roller, a ring disposed on one side of the inner cavity of the decontamination box, and an air jet fixedly connected to the periphery of the inner cavity of the ring, the decontamination assembly being used to remove impurities from the surface of the wire rope; the pre-washing frame has a cleaning assembly in its inner cavity, the cleaning assembly comprising a cylinder disposed at the top of the pre-washing frame, a lifting plate fixedly connected to the free end of the cylinder, and guide wheels movably connected to both sides of the bottom of the lifting plate, the cleaning assembly being used to soak the wire rope.
[0007] Preferably, a hot air blower is fixedly connected to one side of the top of the impurity removal box, and the output end of the hot air blower is connected to an air duct. One end of the air duct is connected to the input end of the jet nozzle through the inner cavity of the annulus.
[0008] Preferably, a support plate is fixedly connected to both sides of the inner cavity of the impurity removal box, and one side of the support plate is rotatably connected to one end of the spiral scraper via a rotating shaft.
[0009] Preferably, the inner cavity of the impurity removal box has an inclined surface, and a groove is formed on one side of the inclined surface. The inner cavity of the groove is connected to the top of one side of the initial washing frame.
[0010] Preferably, a bracket is fixedly connected to the top of the initial washing frame, and the top of the bracket is fixedly connected to the non-free end of the cylinder.
[0011] Preferably, a limiting groove is provided on both sides of the inner cavity of the initial washing frame, and one side of the lifting plate is slidably connected to the inner cavity of the limiting groove.
[0012] Preferably, the top of both sides of the impurity removal box is provided with a conveying port, which is used to convey the steel wire rope to be processed.
[0013] The technical effects and advantages of this utility model are as follows:
[0014] 1. This utility model, by setting up a pre-washing frame, a cylinder-driven lifting plate, and guide wheels, can stably press the wire rope into the cleaning solution for full immersion, achieving preliminary softening and removal of surface oil and rust. At the same time, the electric rotating extrusion roller and spiral scraper in the impurity removal box work together to mechanically extrude and spirally scrape the surface of the wire rope during its movement, effectively removing stubborn impurities from the gaps between the strands. This solves the problems of low efficiency and incomplete cleaning in traditional manual cleaning. The integrated air jet head and hot air blower can immediately dry the wire rope with hot air after scraping, avoiding residual liquid from affecting subsequent processing, and significantly improving the continuity and efficiency of surface treatment.
[0015] 2. This utility model, through the design of inclined surfaces and inclined grooves, allows impurities and waste liquid after cleaning to automatically flow back to the initial washing frame, reducing the frequency of manual cleaning. The support plate and rotating shaft structure ensure stable rotation of the spiral scraper, extending its service life. The sliding connection between the limiting groove and the lifting plate enhances the stability of the guide wheel pressing down, adapting to the processing needs of steel wire ropes of different diameters. The overall device has a compact structure and a high degree of automation, making it particularly suitable for the refurbishment and maintenance of large quantities of steel wire ropes in scenarios such as ports and mines, combining high efficiency, reliability, and economy.

A decontamination box 3 is fixedly connected to one side of the top of the pre-washing frame 2, and a triangular support block is fixedly connected to one side of the pre-washing frame 2 to stabilize the decontamination box 3; a decontamination assembly is provided inside the decontamination box 3, including electrically driven rotating squeezing rollers 4 movably connected to both sides of the inner cavity of the decontamination box 3. The electrically driven rotating squeezing rollers 4 have a built-in electric drive system that can drive the two squeezing rollers to rotate in opposite directions at a speed slightly higher than the moving speed of the steel wire rope, squeezing and removing impurities from the surface of the steel wire rope. The squeezing rollers are high-elasticity rubber wheels to facilitate the rotating squeezing and cleaning of the steel wire rope. A screw is fixedly connected to one end of the electrically driven rotating squeezing roller 4. The spiral scraper 5 has a spiral blade design that matches the twist direction of the wire rope to ensure comprehensive scraping. A ring 6 is located on one side of the inner cavity of the impurity removal box 3. The ring 6 allows the air jets 7 to be distributed in a ring shape without affecting the passage of the wire rope. Air jets 7 are fixedly connected to the inner cavity of the ring 6. The air jets 7 are inclined and can blow air to dry and remove impurities from the surface of the wire rope. They can also remove impurities from the surfaces of the electrically rotating extrusion roller 4 and the spiral scraper 5. The cleaning assembly is used to remove impurities from the surface of the wire rope. The inner cavity of the primary washing frame 2 is equipped with a cleaning assembly. The cleaning assembly includes a cylinder 8 located at the top of the primary washing frame 2, a lifting plate 9 fixedly connected to the free end of the cylinder 8, and the cylinder 8 driving the lifting plate 9 to move the guide wheel 10 to extend the cleaning fluid for connecting the wire rope. It also moves the wire rope into the cleaning fluid for soaking. Guide wheels 10 are movably connected to both sides of the bottom of the lifting plate 9. The cleaning assembly is used to soak the wire rope.
[0026] Example 2
[0027] Please see Figures 1-5Based on Example 1, a hot air blower 11 is fixedly connected to one side of the top of the impurity removal box 3. The hot air blower 11 is an existing structure that blows hot air into the jet nozzle 7 through the air duct 12 and sprays it out through the nozzle to remove impurities and dry the wire rope. The output end of the hot air blower 11 is connected to the air duct 12. One side of the surface of the ring 6 is the air duct 12, and the other side is a support base. The bottom of the support base is fixed to one side of the inclined surface 14 to support the ring 6. One end of the air duct 12 is connected to the input end of the jet nozzle 7 through the inner cavity of the ring 6. Support plates 13 are fixedly connected to both sides of the inner cavity of the impurity removal box 3. One side of the support plate 13 is rotatably connected to one end of the spiral scraper 5 through a rotating shaft. The impurity removal box 3 has an inclined surface 14 inside, and an inclined groove 15 is provided on one side of the inclined surface 14. The inclined surface 14 and the inclined groove 15 allow the removed impurities and excess cleaning liquid to flow back into the primary washing frame 2 for convenient subsequent processing and use. The inner cavity of the inclined groove 15 is connected to the top of one side of the primary washing frame 2. A bracket 16 is fixedly connected to the top of the primary washing frame 2. The top of the bracket 16 is fixedly connected to the non-free end of the cylinder 8. Limiting grooves 17 are provided on both sides of the inner cavity of the primary washing frame 2. The limiting grooves 17 are used to limit the lifting plate 9. One side of the lifting plate 9 is slidably connected to the inner cavity of the limiting groove 17. Conveying ports 18 are provided on the top of both sides of the impurity removal box 3. The conveying ports 18 are used to convey the steel wire rope to be processed.
[0028] Working principle: After the wire rope enters the device through the conveyor port 18 of the impurity removal box 3, it is first driven by the cylinder 8 in the primary washing frame 2 to press down the lifting plate 9. The guide wheel 10 immerses the wire rope in the cleaning solution to fully soak it, softening the surface oil and rust. After soaking, the wire rope is pulled into the inner cavity of the impurity removal box 3. The electrically operated rotating squeeze roller 4 rotates in opposite directions and clamps the wire rope. The squeeze action of the rubber wheel initially removes residual liquid and loose impurities. At the same time, the spiral scraper 5 fixed to one end of the squeeze roller performs spiral scraping on the surface of the wire rope as it rotates, thoroughly removing stubborn dirt from the gaps between the strands. The scraped impurities and waste liquid flow back to the primary washing frame 2 along the inclined chute 15, realizing automatic cleaning. Subsequently, the hot air blower 11 turns on the cleaning solution. Hot air is delivered to the jet nozzles 7 inside the ring 6 via the air duct 12. The ring-shaped jet nozzles 7 spray high-temperature airflow at an inclined angle, which on the one hand quickly dries the surface of the wire rope to prevent residual moisture from affecting subsequent processing, and on the other hand blows away residual impurities on the extrusion rollers and scrapers to maintain the working efficiency of the cleaning components. In the whole process, the limiting groove 17 ensures the stable lifting of the lifting plate 9, the support plate 13 and the rotating shaft structure maintain the smooth operation of the scraper, and the inclined surface 14 and inclined groove 15 are designed to optimize the waste liquid recovery path. The device achieves efficient, continuous and thorough cleaning and drying of the wire rope surface through three-stage linkage of soaking, mechanical scraping and hot air drying, and is suitable for the industrial processing needs of wire ropes of different diameters.
